Can spirulina be used as joint health supplements? Would it be smart to take this if you have
problems like arthritis, bone on bone joints, cartilage damage, disc injuries in your spine,
and meniscus injuries? In this video I will teach you all about spirulina so you can know if it's
the right thing to take for your health. So what is spirulina? It is one of the most nutrient dense
superfoods on the planet. It's got a huge list of vitamins and minerals. I don't want to miss
one I probably am. But I'm going to read them off to you here. We've got vitamin A,
vitamin B, one, B, two B, five, b, six, vitamin B, nine B, 12, vitamin C, vitamin D, and E, vitamin
K. It's got calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and
zinc. It really is like the all natural Centrum multivitamin. And where does this come from? It is
a blue green algae also known as a phyto plankton here, in some sources, they call it a bacteria as
well. All you need to know is that it grows in both saltwater and freshwater. And it's been
used in ancient times we have recorded history, especially by Aztecs as a superfood, to gain more
energy and overall health. In this current day, it's even used by astronauts in space, I'll tell
you more about that in just a moment. It's known to be an antioxidant and anti inflammatory. So
this is where I think it's especially beneficial as a joint supplement as something to use to keep
your cartilage, your ligaments and other parts of your joints healthy for the long term. And
in addition to that, it's been shown to help with cancer with lowering blood cholesterol and
triglycerides. Also lowering your blood glucose, your blood sugar levels, reducing blood pressure,
it can help with anemia. And it's even been shown to help with seasonal allergies, like the type of
stuff that people suffer from, depending on that time of the year. Now, the side effects and there
really aren't many it's really just potential side effects are if you're taking blood thinners,
you should consult with your doctor, I highly doubt they're gonna tell you not to take this,
but do your due diligence and check with your doctor. Also, if you're nursing or pregnant,
currently, you should check with your doctor as well, they're probably not going to tell you no,
but be safe, you got a baby. And of course, as with any supplement, or even in the food
that you're eating, you should stop taking this immediately. If you feel any sort of reaction,
you're having a skin reaction or if you have any stomach problems related to it,
which is probably next to never going to happen. You should be careful with kids around this and
not because it's not healthy for them. It actually doesn't say that kids can't take this, you just
got to be careful that kids don't choke on the pills. This is a choking hazard for children. And
let me give you my honest opinion about sole gars spirulina supplements. Now I love soul guard as
a company just because they've been around for a long time, they kind of know how to do it. They've
been around for over 75 years. They put all their supplements in these glass Amber bottles,
that Amber helps to reduce the light going in to preserve the supplement. And the glass of course
is just way better to use in plastic as containers for most vitamins and supplements are made from
plastic. And we all know that plastic leeches things off that are cancer causing agents. So
glass all the way if you can, and soul guard goes the extra step to make their products as
hypoallergenic as possible, meaning you're likely going to never experience allergies. Because of
this. This is kosher. And let me read you the rest here. It's gluten free, wheat free, dairy free,
soy free, yeast free sugar free, it doesn't have any artificial flavors, no sweeteners,
and it doesn't have any colors added to this. The capsules are made from vegetables. You can see
them right there. So they're highly digestible. They're not going to cause allergy problems.
And what I especially like about this spirulina product itself, not just buy from Soul guard, but
spirulina itself is recommended by NASA to use on astronauts in outer space. Now that's a big deal.
What you need to know is that medications tend to be pushed by doctors and rightfully so because
they can help patients out with certain conditions and doctors or specialists and medications. So
they go to school to become MDS MD is short for a doctor of medicine. That's their title. They
are specialists of medication. So when they're in school, there's studying all the research and all
the books that are focused on diseases and how to treat them with medications. And of course,
medications have lots of research behind them, because they're pushed by pharmaceutical companies
and rightfully so pharmaceutical companies are trying to make their business and it's their
due diligence to put research out or influence research out there so that they can show the
benefits of their medications. That's what any business should do is go out there and market
the The usefulness of their product. But the fact is that spirulina is a natural thing it's not made
by a pharmaceutical company so just doesn't have very much research behind. It doesn't have very
much financial backing to do research. But it is a superfood, you should be taking this to improve
your overall health. And if it's this should be used in combination with other supplements
to help your joint health. And in addition to a bigger plan, involving exercise, which we go into
in depth on this channel with how to fix things like joint arthritis, other cartilage injuries,
and much more. But if NASA deems this important for astronauts, I think it's pretty important for
us to use here on earth for our own benefits. The downside to taking spirulina is next to nothing,
it's extremely affordable relative to medications, and the health benefits are through the roof. The
upside to taking this supplement is truly greater than we know. So how to use this,
all you do is you take four capsules a day with a meal. So there's four capsules,
and just to show you the the color of these are kind of bluish green, and they're not the smallest
you can see them. They're in the palm of my hand and you would take this with a meal once a day.
There are 250 Vegetable capsules in there you can see that right there. So that makes for about 60
days 62 days of supplements. So if you're going to test this for your overall joint health if
you're dealing with arthritis or some disc injury in your spine, I would recommend taking this for
at least two months so one of these bottles should be enough for you to take it for two months. Now
